We ask of you to join us for A Celebration of Digna’s Life. Those who knew her know that she was proud of her Puerto Rican heritage, her favorite color was red, and she loved Betty Boop. In honor of Digna we ask everyone to please wear attire relating to those three things. Nothing would be more fitting then for all of us dressed in the things she adored the most.

The Life Celebration will begin 10 a.m., Saturday, November 16, 2019 at Blount & Curry Funeral Home at Garden of Memories, 4207 E. Lake Ave., Tampa, FL 33610.
